Travel to Sulu Archipelago

If it's your first time travelling during the COVID-19 outbreak, you'll no doubt notice a few more restrictions and standards in place. Follow these tips and make your trip to Sulu Archipelago go off without a hitch:

• Investigate if any travel restrictions apply to your destination and origin before committing to a flight. Also check if there are any requirements you'll have to follow on arrival, such as proof of a negative COVID-19 test.
• Requirements state you must wear a face mask at the airport, even at screening checkpoints. Be prepared to adjust your mask for identification purposes when asked by a TSA employee.
• Instead of handing a TSA employee your boarding pass, place it straight on the scanner yourself. Then, hold it up for inspection.
• You can now take one container of hand sanitizer up to 12 oz (350 ml) in your carry-on luggage. You'll need to remove it for X-ray screening.
• Empty your personal items from your pockets, like your wallet, keys and phone, and put them in your carry-on instead of into bins. This will reduce handling during the screening process.
• Separate any food you have for X-ray scanning. Putting it in a clear plastic bag and into a bin reduces the need for a TSA employee to touch and inspect your belongings.
